MindPlay

MindPlay initially started as a development platform for educational publishers but quickly evolved to be a products business when it could not find any viable literacy solutions for a family member with dyslexia. Today, MindPlay offers individualized instruction for students in grades K – 12, as well as professional development products for educators that provide teachers with a deeper understanding of literacy issues and how best to facilitate student improvement. MindPlay was founded in 1981 and is based in Tucson, Arizona.
